Mozambique is currently recording the entry of about 16,000 foreign tourists a week, representing a growth of more than 35% from the lows registered after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The data was provided in Maputo by Minister of Culture and Tourism Eldevina Materula, who was at Maputo International Airport on Monday monitoring a survey on tourist expenditure.
Minister Materula said the tourist expenditure survey would help the government more accurately measure the flow of tourists in the country and better plan the setting up of a Tourism Satellite Account in Mozambique.
The purpose of the Tourism Satellite Account is to analyse in detail all aspects of the demand for goods and services associated with the activity of visitors, observe the operational interface of the supply of such goods and services within the economy and ascertain how this supply interacts with other economic activities.
This will permit greater consistency between tourism statistics and the rest of the statistical system in the country, and enhance the international comparability of such data.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism expects to carry out a second phase of the survey in August of this year.
